Thanks Ringo, for your thoughts on 300 mag carts. What are you thoughts about A-Bolt II vs. Model 700, assuming similar other physical characteristics (barrel length, materials, etc...)? My primary is use is med/large North American game (500 lb black bear is likely to be largest).

As for kick, I'm not too worried about it because here in NJ, we're not allowed to rifle hunt (I want the rifle for out of state hunts in PA, Maine, and such). Therefore, we use a lot of slug guns (I use a Savage 210F 12GA and an H&R New England Ultra Slug Hunter, 12GA). With a 3" Copper Solid, which is a 478gr projectile, you get a pretty healthy kick, so I've learned to get used to it and not flinch.
